Clones from A to Z
 

At one time I commented here that there were so many brands and names of clones one could make a collection of their names from A to Z.

Well I'm almost there. I have pics on my hard drive of the following brands of 15 clones.

I'm only missing: J, O, Q, X, Z. That's a lot of names and I have multiple pics for some of them. Way to many to post on the forum, that's for sure.

I got many of my pics from shopgoodwill.com, the QB forum especially Miriams "Will The Real 15 Clone Please Stand Up" thread, my own machines, and a few from other places. There were some pics in Miriam's thread that were so big my computer couldn't open them, but I'm not going back through that 50 page thread to find them.

Anyway if anyone has a traditional 15 clone whose name starts with J, O, Q, X or Z. Please let me know. I'd love to have them to finish my alphabet.

There are quite a few on Pinterest and Ebay, too

Oh goodie, now I gotta "Z". Thanks Miriam.

Jaguar?????

I recently saw Cinderella and also Margaret on facebook too.

I also have pics for each name I posted above. Way to many to post here. Just the names don't help, but they are very interesting. If you can post links to or pics of these machines I'd love it.
I don't do FB or Tweeter or any of those social media things so I can't go there to get any pics.

J - JANOME NEW HOME CLONE 15.

here's a THE VIDEO

Actually Janome was the first one I thought of when I saw J. They also used to make them in Australia in the 1950s (there was one on eBay a few days ago).

Nice list J Miller!

I just started gradually on this project. Miriam has helped a bunch with here thread and some pics she hunted up for me.
I'm waiting for a traditional red clone for my collection. I've seen a bunch of them, but never a red one. Blues, greens, beige, tan, grey, two tones, copper, butterscotch, yellow and the classic black.


Considering the colors they were made in, somebody had to make a red one.


Joe

I'd love to see the pics of them all!!

I'd love to be able to post them, but it would be practically impossible on the forum. I've been thinking of putting together a Photobucket album of them, but haven't gotten there.

Oops. Sorry. I thought V was still missing on your list.

NapaJohn,

V was covered but I didn't have any Viscounts. That white and grey one in the UK is gorgeous. I'd love to have it. But I'll settle for the picture.

The butterscotch colored one in Maine .... "Extremely rare" ..... HA HA, that seller is smoking whacky weed. Nice machine though.

Thanks for the pics.

Here's a black Jaguar I may go see this week. It's incomplete. They also made some that looked like the old Morse machines- like a Chevy dashboard. Hard to find pics, but I have seen many over the years.

Here's a link to a pink and grey Jaguar. http://www.bettycrafter.com/to-sell-...-the-question/
I'm not sure about the niceties of nabbing pics from websites.

I have Margaret's sisters Cinderella and the Countess. They have some clone features externally but internally they are not exactly a clone. They are very cute though.

And another one, Dynamic. It looks like the same model, just a different badge. Still looking for Cinderella.

Oh good! I know I saw Cinderella but now I can't find her.

Found it!!! Again, these are not my machines but gosh, I sure wouldn't mind owning one. They are super cute!

Hey! that's my dryer! Does that mean a Cinderella just showed up? Wishful thinking I know.

I think I've seen a red clone. I'll search.

Giggling!! Wow, wouldn't that be nice???

Drat, not a clone. I think Miriam's boss used to have a similar one.

It has the same bobbin area as a clone and it is made in Japan. There are other machines like that - Atlas, Morse and other machines made by Brother. I love that machine. He is not my boss any more - he quit, the company went out of business and I got a different job, but he still has it and he loves it, too. He says it reminds him of when he played with his fire truck. I kind of think it more reminds me of when cars looked like that...

Dryer nothing - I love that little box Cinderella lives in.

Here is another Singer 15 Clone, Kingston.

When I search for Sewmor sewing machine 620 I get a couple of those machines in images. I would never leave one of those behind.

I knew I should have said ex-boss. Duh.

I have one you need to include.....Visetti
Clone made by Toyota

A clear full front pic sized 640x480 would be really nice. You are right that is one I don't have.

Queen sewing machine?

Quality????

Here's that 1960s (or '50s) Janome mentioned earlier. Made in Australia means assembled here, but it is a Singer clone (although not a 15). I'd have picked it up for a tenner, but Ashcroft is waaaay too far (it's in Sydney).

I think I have a New Home just like it.

Just found a Phoenix and a Volo on St. Louis CL.

I think the idea is Singer 15 clones from A-Z

Here's another F - Fabric. http://dayton.craigslist.org/atq/4523889535.html
